Why do you live where you live?

UncleWede · 11-05-2007, 10:58 AM

Oxnard, CA, about 60 miles north of LA, 45 south of Santa Barbara.

When it's hot here, its 85. When it's cold, its 55. During the winter I can ski in the day and still catch a sunset surf session.

Oh, and strawberries!

I used to go to Mannheim and Ludwigshafen a lot. Heidelberg at Christmas is really nice. I remember having one too many gluewein's there once.

I live here for a variety of reasons, the weather NOT being one of them.
